Building Management Systems (BMS) in UAE Siemens Desigo CC & Automated Logic WebCTRL

A well-engineered Building Management System is the operational brain of any commercial, healthcare, hospitality, or institutional facility monitoring and controlling HVAC, lighting, electrical systems, fire integration, energy metering, and access, all from a single intelligent platform. Team Switchgear and Control LLC delivers complete BMS solutions in the UAE: from system design and DDC panel assembly to software configuration, commissioning, and ongoing support.

We are authorised partners for two of the world’s leading BMS platforms Siemens Desigo CC and Automated Logic Corporation (ALC) WebCTRL giving our clients the choice of the right architecture for their facility type, budget, and long-term operational requirements. Both platforms are fully BACnet compliant and are deployed across hospitals, hotels, universities, commercial offices, and industrial facilities throughout the UAE and GCC.

Siemens Desigo CC Integrated Building Management for the UAE

Siemens Desigo CC (Desigo Control Centre) is Siemens’ flagship integrated building management platform a single-server, modular software suite that unifies HVAC automation, fire safety, security, and energy management into one operator interface. It is the BMS of choice for large-scale, technically complex facilities including airports, hospitals, campus environments, and high-rise commercial towers across the UAE.

What We Deliver with Siemens Desigo CC

System Design and Engineering: Our engineering team develops the complete BMS architecture BACnet MS/TP and BACnet/IP network diagrams, DDC controller selection, points schedules, sequence of operations documentation, and panel layout drawings. All designs are aligned with ASHRAE 135 BACnet standards and UAE authority requirements.

DDC Panel Supply and Assembly: We manufacture and wire all DDC control panels in-house at our Dubai facility. Panels are assembled using Siemens PXC and PXM series controllers, MEC field controllers, and BACnet I/O modules fully tested before delivery. Every DDC panel is labelled, documented, and supplied with a wiring schedule.

Siemens Desigo CC Software Configuration: Our software engineers configure the Desigo CC server including graphic page development for all plant items, alarm configuration, trend log setup, scheduler programming, and operator access management. We develop the complete operator interface from scratch, not using generic templates.

Field Installation and Commissioning: Our certified commissioning engineers carry out all field wiring verification, sensor calibration, control loop tuning, and BACnet device integration. Full loop-by-loop commissioning records are provided. BMS handover includes operator training and a complete as-built documentation package.

Automated Logic WebCTRL BMS for UAE Commercial and Healthcare Projects

Automated Logic Corporation (ALC) WebCTRL is one of the most widely deployed Building Management Systems across the UAE particularly in hospitals, universities, hotels, and commercial office towers where BACnet open-protocol flexibility and web-based accessibility are primary requirements. Team Switchgear is an authorised Automated Logic partner, supplying, programming, and commissioning WebCTRL BMS installations across UAE and GCC projects.

What We Deliver with Automated Logic WebCTRL

WebCTRL System Design: We develop the complete BACnet network architecture, controller selection schedule, DDC panel layout, and points schedule. Our designs are developed to ASHRAE 135 BACnet standards and tailored to the client’s MEP consultant specification and authority requirements.

DDC Panel Fabrication: All Automated Logic controller panels including OAC, VAC, eZFlex, ZN, and unitary controller panels are assembled and tested in our Dubai panel shop. Each panel is supplied with full wiring documentation and test records.

WebCTRL Software Programming: Our ALC-trained software engineers develop all control programs in GPC Builder graphical programming, configure WebCTRL operator graphics, set up trend logs and alarm management, and configure energy monitoring dashboards. We build operator interfaces that are clear, intuitive, and maintainable by facility management teams.

What is the difference between Siemens Desigo CC and Automated Logic WebCTRL?

Both are BACnet-native BMS platforms capable of HVAC monitoring, energy management, and building systems integration but they differ in scope and target market. Siemens Desigo CC is an integrated building management platform that unifies HVAC, fire safety, security, and access control into one operator interface on a single server making it the preferred choice for large, complex facilities such as airports, hospitals, and campus environments. Automated Logic WebCTRL is a HVAC-focused BMS with exceptional ease of use, strong BACnet openness, and a widely supported GPC Builder programming environment making it the preferred choice for hotels, universities, commercial offices, and healthcare facilities in the UAE. Team Switchgear is an authorised partner for both platforms and can recommend the most appropriate system based on your facility type, consultant specification, and authority requirements.

Does a BMS in the UAE need to comply with DEWA Green Building regulations?

Yes. Buildings in Dubai subject to DEWA’s Green Building Regulations (Al Sa’fat rating system) must include energy sub-metering and monitoring capable of producing DEWA-compliant energy reports. Both Siemens Desigo CC and Automated Logic WebCTRL include energy management modules that generate the sub-metering data, interval logs, and energy consumption reports required for DEWA compliance. For Abu Dhabi projects, the Estidama Pearl Rating System has its own energy monitoring requirements, which our BMS designs address through the ASHRAE 50/50 energy monitoring framework built into WebCTRL and the ISO 50001-aligned analytics in Desigo CC. We ensure BMS energy monitoring compliance is built into the design at the points schedule stage, not retrofitted during handover.
